Can't do an Upgrade Install - Different Language

Hi there,
I'd like to do an upgrade install of Windows 7 Beta. Unfortunately, my current OS (Vista Ultimate 64) is in Italian, thus I cannot upgrade. I even tried to install the English language pack and I made sure to set the language in English. The problem is I cannot uninstall the Italian language as Windows tells me that it's the system language.

Is there any way to make Windows think that English is the default language of my computer? I really don't want to make a clean install.

Use another hard drive or partition.

But this way I have to reinstall all the programs, tell iTunes to move the library...

I'm using dual boot with Vista ultimate x64. No problems.

I thought about that, but I don't want to dual boot, it's useless for me. I just want to upgrade to Win7.

Windows 7 is only a BETA version. I would not advise you to use it as your main operating system until the final release comes out!

Fortunately I have 6 computers in my house and I backed up my computer. Also if something goes wrong I can easily rollback to Vista 64. My father, a Linux user, installed the beta on his laptop and he said that is great. I'd really like to be able to upgrade.

OK then, why don't you take/backup the data you need and then format the PC you want to use. You can then do a clean install.

Because then I'd have to reinstall everything and since I recently formatted my PC I don't want to do it again
